Cadaver Lab
Formaldehyde
Shiny floors
And two black bags with zippers
Awaiting parturition
I sought secrets revealed by the dead
A sexy professor with smooth skin
Pulled round the zippers
And let in the light
Illuminating a brain behind the skull
A heart behind the breast
A penis—nevermore a cock
Once a forest
Now the trees
And I
I knelt at science’ altar
And felt life’s tingle
Crouching
In its cage

Once a forest, now the trees. Yup. I want to know what secrets you were seeking?
An interesting take on an unusual subject matter.
